Bagle Variant does not require attachment to infect!

[mattjurado]

This may be old news for some, but I sure as heck didn't see or hear about this. So I received my monthly newsletter from Hauri (an antivirus I like), and it stated certain variants of Bagle do not require an attachment to infect. Sure enough, its true. Read below, and I would patch to be safe!!! Its only a matter of time before more viruses try to take advantage of this exploit. This is scary, because basically any e-mail in your inbox could be a virus.

The patchis a good idea.. but this is another reason I don't use IE. Try Mozilla, and W3C compatible browser.

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
